tools like Gen AI may be useful. Recent research investigated the effectiveness of using Gen AIin learning [60], [61], [62]. An extension to the TDCR module is proposed in the following section to provide details on theintegration of a Gen AI tool to assist students with their project work. The goal of the Gen AI tools is toprovide guidance on project planning, task assignment, team dynamics and aid with conflict resolution. Itis important to note that the TDCR module that is described in the previous section is a stand-alonemodule that is effective in achieving its purpose. The Gen AI tool aims to provide additional support toboth the instructor and student as will be discussed in the following section.4. Integrating Gen AI in Curriculum

Toanswer these questions, this study reviews the literature on the current approaches that provideexperiential learning to students in an engineering curriculum and presents a case study ofcurriculum intervention that promotes an interdisciplinary experiential learning approach inteaching a computer aid design and modeling class.2 Literature ReviewHigher education plays a key role in the development of human capital in any economy.Engineering schools prepare graduates with the technical skills they need to address the challengesfacing the world. However, technical skills alone do not adequately prepare these

learning experience.This research answers the following two questions to improve student learning: (1) Whichinteractions or tasks within the virtual lab consume the most time? (2) What segments posesignificant challenges for participants to navigate or comprehend? This study uses informationfrom how people look around in VR to create assistive instructions with AI. These instructionswill help with steps that are hard to find in VR or activities that are difficult to complete in VR.This sophisticated analysis and AI mix is a big step for 3D printing lessons in VR.The paper explores an innovative educational component integrated into a course project at theauthors’ university. They focused on teaching students about 3D printing process parameters

This paper describes how the hands-on activities embedded within the Boot Campplay a pivotal role in shaping the students' learning experience. Pre- and post-surveys enable usto gauge knowledge growth and the confidence to apply quality engineering principles. In aconstantly evolving industrial landscape, this Quality Engineering Boot Camp could be an idealsetting to empower participants with the skills and knowledge needed to excel as quality experts.1 IntroductionQuality engineering is integral to modern manufacturing and service industries, deeply rooted inthe foundations of industrial and manufacturing engineering [1].

students at the epicenter of their learning journey[1][2]. PBL's roots can be traced back to the mid-20th century with the ideas of educationalphilosopher John Dewey. Dewey advocated for learning through experience and hands-onactivities, emphasizing the importance of connecting classroom knowledge to real-worldapplications [3]. In the 21st century, PBL has become increasingly integrated into educationalreform efforts globally. The emphasis on 21st-century skills such as critical thinking,communication, collaboration, and creativity has fueled the adoption of PBL as an effectivemethodology to develop these competencies [4]. The widespread availability and use oftechnology in education has further facilitated the implementation of [5]. Digital

Curiosity is essential inengineering education for fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and lifelong learning skillsrequired to face 21st-century issues [1], [2], [3]. Lindholm [4] posited strongly that modernity isfundamentally rooted in curiosity, which serves as a catalyst for knowledge acquisition, freshperspectives, and creative thinking in both individuals and groups. In the opinion of Pluck andJohnson [5], curiosity is an aspect of intrinsic motivation with great

drastic, however, students in this course are challenged to explore understanding inventoryand supply chain models in an abstract manner. Integrating their knowledge built within thecourse, students are asked to write about a concept, model, topic, or issue pertaining todeterministic and stochastic inventory modeling.Creative Writing Assignments. The first poem-writing assignment required students to create an“I am” poem about themselves. This assignment allowed students to experiment and gain someexperience with the specific poetic form on a topic that is personal and well known to them. Thisassignment is due in the second week of the course to encourage creative thinking early on. Thesecond poem-writing assignment required students to create an
